<Sequence of the Gua(The Ninth Wing of the Commentary)>:
Great Strength
Principle:347. Things cannot retreat forever. Thus, after Retreat, Great Strength follows.
<Significance of the Gua>:
340. Being powerful is great in every respect, of course, but one needs to know how to use the great strength. One should not become too self-willed and opinionated. When situations are not conducive to moving forward, one should not overdo.
<Significance of the Yao>:
First Nine:341. There brings misfortune if one has a strong desire to moves forward without knowing of oneself even though the movement comes out of his sincerity. Such a sincerity as this case will be misunderstood.
Second Nine:342. You tend to overdo now and then but there will be good fortune when you move forward with keeping yourself in control and being upright in accordance to the principle of Golden Mean.
Third Nine:343. A inferior little fellow will become opinionated and run wild taking advantage of his power. A superior person, knowing how to control oneself, would never do this. No matter how the purpose is correct, it's dangerous when running wild too far. This is like a ram butting against a fence and getting its horns entangled.
Fourth Nine:344. It is just like the situation that a ram has been released from a fence where its horns were entangled. The obstacles will not be seen in the future. There brings good fortune if you move forward greatly with keeping your high principles steadfast and upright. The regret concerned will vanish, too.
Fifth Six:345. With knowing yourself gentle and understanding the position now unsuitable for the company moving forward further, you stay calm and have no regret even if you see your subordinates running toward you wildly with the intention of depriving of your position.
Top Six:346. You seem to be in the difficult situation after running wild too far and entangled in the troubles. However, if you can realize the difficulty and yield while reflecting on yourself deeply, there will be good fortune.
